Cruise ships might look all shiny and glamorous, but there are hidden parts you'll never see unless you know where to look. Beneath the fancy restaurants and pools, there are whole maze-like areas just for crew members. Some ships even have secret morgues and jails tucked away in the lower decks. There are also hidden maintenance tunnels, storage rooms, and places where broken furniture and supplies get stashed. It's basically like a whole secret city operating underneath the vacation fun. Next time you're on a cruise, just remember — there's a lot more going on behind the scenes than you realize!

The Germania (Latin: De Origine et situ Germanorum, literally The Origin and Situation of the Germans), written by Gaius Cornelius Tacitus around 98, is an ethnographic work on the Germanic tribes outside the Roman Empire. Germania fits squarely within the tradition established by authors from Herodotus to Julius Caesar. Tacitus himself had already written a similar essay on the lands and tribes of Britannia in his Agricola. The Germania begins with a description of the lands, laws, and customs of the Germanic people; it then segues into descriptions of individual tribes, beginning with those dwelling closest to Roman lands and ending on the uttermost shores of the Baltic, among the amber-gathering Aesti, the primitive and savage Fenni, and the unknown tribes beyond them.Tacitus' descriptions of the Germanic character are at times favorable in contrast to the opinions of the Romans of his day. He holds the strict monogamy and chastity of Germanic marriage customs worthy of the highest praise, in contrast to what he saw as the vice and immorality rampant in Roman society of his day, and he admires their open hospitality, their simplicity, and their bravery in battle. One should not, however, think that Tacitus' portrayal of Germanic customs is entirely favorable; he notes a tendency in the Germanic people for what he saw as their habitual drunkenness, laziness, and barbarism, among other traits. Tacitus says that physically, the Germans appeared to be a distinct race, not an admixture of their neighbors. In Chapter 4, he mentions that they have common characteristics of blue eyes, blond or reddish hair and large size.In Chapter 7, Tacitus describes their government and leadership as somewhat merit-based and egalitarian, with leadership by example rather than authority and that punishments are carried out by the priests. In Chapter 9, Tacitus describes a form of folk assembly rather similar to the public Things recorded in later Germanic sources: in these public deliberations, the final decision rests with the people of the tribe as a whole.Translated by Alfred J. Church and William J. Brodribb, in 1877. (Adapted from Wikipedia.)This is a collaborative reading.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism This week...more from the great Hammer studios as they craft a chilling tale of deceit and madness. A presumed-dead heir resurfaces, unraveling sinister family secrets. Gothic suspense intertwines with psychological twists, as greed, guilt, and identity collide in a haunting inheritance drama. Starring Oliver Reed and Janette Scott.   Paranoiac (1963) Where secrets fester and madness reigns—welcome to the Ashby estate, where paranoia is just the beginning Paranoiac (1963), directed by Freddie Francis and produced by Hammer Films, is a gripping psychological thriller that delves into themes of identity, deception, and madness. Loosely based on Josephine Tey's novel Brat Farrar, the film is set against the backdrop of a wealthy but dysfunctional British family, the Ashbys, whose lives are marred by tragedy and secrets. The story begins with the Ashby siblings, Simon and Eleanor, living under the care of their strict Aunt Harriet after the death of their parents in a plane crash. Simon, a cruel and manipulative alcoholic, is weeks away from inheriting the family fortune. Eleanor, fragile and haunted by the past, struggles with her mental health, particularly after the apparent suicide of their elder brother, Tony, years earlier. The plot takes a dramatic turn when a man claiming to be Tony reappears, throwing the family into turmoil. While Eleanor is overjoyed and convinced of his identity, Simon and Aunt Harriet are skeptical, suspecting him to be an impostor. As tensions rise, the film unravels a web of deceit, revealing that "Tony" is indeed a conman hired by the family solicitor's son to cover up financial embezzlement. The narrative is further complicated by Simon's descent into madness, driven by guilt and greed. The eerie atmosphere is heightened by haunting organ music and a masked figure, adding layers of gothic suspense. The climax reveals shocking truths about the family's dark past, including Simon's role in Tony's death and Aunt Harriet's attempts to maintain a facade of normalcy. Oliver Reed delivers a standout performance as the volatile Simon, capturing the character's menace and vulnerability. The film's cinematography, with its shadowy visuals and dramatic angles, enhances the sense of unease, while Elisabeth Lutyens' haunting score underscores the psychological tension. Paranoiac is a masterful blend of gothic horror and psychological drama, showcasing Hammer Films' ability to craft compelling narratives that linger in the mind long after the credits roll.

In around 108AD, the Legio IX Hispania, or the Ninth Legion, a unit of just over 5,000 men, was last recorded at York in Britannia, and possibly heading north towards Caledonia, modern day Scotland. What happened next no one knows for sure, and the Ninth disappeared from historical record. The loss would have been a stunning humiliation for the Rome, but what would be the response of Hadrian, the emperor who took power a few years later in 117AD? Within a few years a new wall dividing Britannia from the wild Novantae and Selgovae tribes would be constructed, a wall that still stands today and is named after the emperor under which it was built. Joining the pod today is writer Alistair Tosh, author of Edge of Empire: Siege, and we chat Hadrian's Wall in this bonus pod.

When Queen Elizabeth II and her family went on vacation, they didn't fly coach or take a carnival cruise. They traveled in style aboard Her Majesty's Yacht Britannia. The Queen designed the ship herself the year of her coronation. This was her favorite place to be, where she could truly unwind. I recently had the opportunity to tour this historic yacht in Edinburgh, Scotland. And to talk with the Yotties who served the Queen while she traveled the world. Let's explore this floating time capsule, learn how it functioned, find out where the royals visited, what they ate, how they slept and relaxed. I'll dish on the four honeymoons which took place on board, and we'll be treated to an intimate glimpse of the British royal family at their most relaxed, while on vacation!

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of January 29 -After showing weakness from Friday's highs, the Nifty50 witnessed a sharp sell-off on Monday, closing at a 7-month low. The index managed to hold levels above 22,800 but ended the day 263 points lower at 22,829, with 42 out of 50 stocks closing in the red. -Most heavyweights saw a closing in the red while ICICI Bank ended higher after Q3 earnings. FMCG stocks like HUL and Britannia were among the top Nifty gainers, both rising over 1%. On the other hand, the IT index fell 3%, dragged down by global cues. HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro were the top Nifty losers. -Going ahead, market sentiment remains on the edge as investors brace for Wednesday's Federal Reserve rate decision and accompanying policy guidance. This unease is further fueled by mixed earnings reports, geopolitical tensions, and the impending Union Budget, all of which have contributed to the prevailing uncertainty. -Stocks to watch: Coal India, Tata Steel, Indraprastha Gas, Kaynes Technology India, Piramal Enterprises -Earnings: Bajaj Auto, Hindustan Zinc, Hyundai Motor India, Bharat Heavy Electricals, Cipla, JSW Energy, Suzlon, ideaForge Technology, and TVS Motor Company -Additionally, global developments weighed heavily on Indian markets. The recent launch of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, and former U.S. President Trump's abrupt tariff announcement on Colombia have created fresh headwinds. DeepSeek's emergence as the No. 1 free app on the iOS App Store has intensified concerns, as it positions itself as a free alternative to ChatGPT, which has signaled its intention to shift toward a for-profit model. -Global cues: Most Asian shares dropped following a bruising session on Wall Street caused by fears the valuation of artificial-intelligence companies had become excessive. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped as much as 0.6% with Japan's largest technology firms leading declines. That was after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 both tumbled Monday as a cheap AI model from Chinese startup DeepSeek fueled concern valuations may be hard to justify. Many Asian markets, including China and South Korea, are shut Tuesday for the start of the Lunar New Year holidays. -In commodities, oil steadied — after sinking by nearly 2% on Monday. Brent crude traded near $77 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate was above $73. -This morning, GIFT Nifty was trading at a premium of nearly 100 points vs Nifty Futures' Monday's close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market.

Count Theodosius, born in Hispania to a military family, he rose through the ranks and accomplished remarkable things lost in the mists of time.  When he emerges into the spotlight he is the Emperor Valentinian's fixer, who recovers Britannia, settles the Rhine, and recovers Africa for the Empire without breaking a sweat, with humility and grace.  But no good deed ever goes unpunished, and so it is with Theodosius, but that cannot prevent him from founding one of Rome's great dynasties.

In the late 90s, close to half of british state intelligence apparatus and nearly 60% of the GDP was involved in some manner in maintaining a phenomenon known as 'cool Britannia'. The Spice Girls were a girl band formed from open auditions with the aim of creating a group capable of cutting across every demographic in britain, creating a cultural juggernaut that could rival the Britpop boybands of the day. At the height of their success, their manager's brother wrote a film about them, with them playing themselves. This is that film. ----- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here.

“If once you have paid him the Dane-geld, You never get rid of the Dane.”Rudyard KiplingThe winter of 406-407 was bitterly cold across Europe. The Rhine froze over, enabling hordes of Vandals, Alans - I love the fact that there was a tribe of Alans - and Suebi to make their way across the river, and into the Roman empire. They were violent with hunger, from the cold and greedy for what they had admired for so long on the other side.The response from Rome was slow, weak and inadequate.In Britain, Rome had already lost the north and west to warlords. The Roman armies in Britain, who, at best, had been paid with debased money, feared these Germanic tribes would cross into Britain next, so, led by Constantine III, who declared himself “Western Roman Emperor”, they made their way across the Channel and into Gaul, leaving ‘Britannia' to fend for itself. We do not really know if it was Rome that gave up Britain, or Britain that gave up Rome, but, either way, the Dark Ages had well and truly begun.Gold , silver and bronze coins had been widespread under the Romans. They were used to pay taxes, and often re-minted to pay the army and the civil service. But after Constantine III's departure, few coins were either minted or imported. Judging by the numerous hoards found from the period, many people buried their money - presumably to keep it safe in this unruly new environment of no military protection and merciless invasion from Angles, Saxons and other tribes from the continent. With the lack of new supply, existing coins were re-used. Clipping - cutting off the edges to steal metal - became widespread. The previously vigorous late Roman monetary system crumbled. It was not for another 200 years that minting properly started up again.The Anglo-Saxon invaders initially used gold more for adornment rather than as currency. Though there are examples of earlier Anglo-Saxon coins, King Eadbald of Kent was the first Anglo-Saxon whose name we actually know to mint coins. This was around 625AD - small, gold coins called scillingas (shillings), modelled on coins from France. Numismatists now call them thrymsas.As the century progressed, these coins grew increasingly pale, until there was very little gold in them at all. From about 675, small, thick, silver coins known as sceattas came into use in all the countries around the North Sea, and the gold shilling was superseded by the silver penning, or penny. As money, gold fell out of use almost altogether, though silver had something of a boom.It is thought the word ‘penny', like the German ‘pfennig' derives from the pans into which the molten metal for making them was poured. ‘Pfanne' is the German for ‘pan'. Another theory is that it derives somehow from the denarius, as the symbol for the penny used to be the d. Likely a bit of both.The Mercian King Offa, he of dyke fame, who reigned for almost 40 years from 757 to 796, must be one of the greatest Anglo-Saxon kings, certainly the greatest of the 8th century. As well as his dyke, which protected his kingdom from Welsh invaders, and provided a barrier by which he could collect duties, he is credited for the widespread adoption of the silver penny and pound as a unit of account (though the pound was in use before his reign, he still gets the credit). His coins, with portraits and intricate designs, were as accomplished as anywhere in Europe at the time. His system, though probably imported from Charlemagne and the Franks, for reasons which will become clear, almost certainly dates back to the Romans. 12 silver pence equalled a scilling. 20 scillingas, or 240 pennies (12 x 20), equalled a pound weight of silver. Thus did the pound we still use today get its name - it was, simply, a pound weight of sterling silver.The Latin word for a "pound" is libra and the pound sign, £, is a stylized writing of the letter L. The d meanwhile used for pence comes from the Latin denarius. The roots of the British system of money are Roman.Offa's system remained standard until at least the 16th century and, in many ways, until decimalization in 1971. You had to add up each unit of currency separately in this format: £3.9.4, which would be spoken "three pounds, nine shillings and four pence," or "three-pounds, nine and four." To add, you would calculate each unit separately, then convert pence to shillings, leaving leftover pence in the right column. Then convert the shillings to pounds (with leftover shillings in the middle column). And then add up the total pounds. It sounds complicated when you explain it, especially to those oriented in metric, but, like all traditional measures, it is quite intuitive in practice.On this note, have you seen my lecture about weights and measures? It's superb! Offa's systems were gradually consolidated over the subsequent centuries, especially as the kingdoms of Anglo-Saxon Britain began to merge. In the 860s, for example, the kingdoms of Mercia and Wessex formed an alliance by which coinage of a common design could circulate through both of their lands.The Viking invaders found coinage systems far more sophisticated than their own, and the Danegeld, the protection money with which they were bought off, was paid in silver pennies. I had always thought the “geld” in Danegeld meant “gold” but in fact it means yield, and the Viking invaders demanded this tribute wherever in Europe they ravaged.Buying gold to protect yourself in these uncertain times? I recommend The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.The Danegeld system was quite efficient - on both sides. For the invaders, they were often paid more than they could raise by looting, without having to fight. For the locals, the ravaging was avoided, although, as Rudyard Kipling noted in his poem on the subject, “if once you have paid him the Dane-geld, You never get rid of the Dane.”The Danegeld probably also motivated improvements to Anglo-Saxon coinage. To pay his own soldiers, to build forts and ships, and to pay Danegeld, Alfred the Great increased the number of mints in his realm to at least 8. His successor Athelstan had 30 and, to keep order, passed a law in 928 stating that England should have just one currency. Ever since, there has been just one. This was many centuries before standardisation in France, Germany, or Italy.When William, Duke of Normandy, invaded England in 1066, he succeeded where his Viking ancestors had failed for over 270 years, in that he managed to conquer all of England. It meant he took control of English coinage, which was far superior to that of his homeland. William's coins, struck back in Normandy, are remarkable for how poor they are, compared to their English counterparts.He had at least seven types of English pennies struck with his name on, enabling him to achieve the rebrand that was so important to him. No longer was he William the B*****d, as he was then known. Now he was William the Conqueror. He let the world know through his coins. It worked: that is how we still know him today.It is a little ironic that the pound should be so named for its silver. Because, from the time of Isaac Newton and the founding of the Bank of England, silver had very little to do with the pound. Only gold.That story is told here: This is a public episode.

Valentinian, son of the Rope Man, emerged from dad's shadow, paid his dues in the army, and was in the right place at the right time when Julian's short-lived successor Jovian died somewhere outside Ancyra.  Rising to the purple with his brother Valens (Adrianople anyone?) by his side, Valentinian would go on to rule from the west, holding the Rhine, recovering Britannia, and quashing rebelling in Africaa.  He would be the last truly dominant Roman Emperor to rule the West, with the help of two savage she-bears, but was he a hero?

Dear initiates, come with us on a journey back to the fog-shrouded island of Britannia as we re-enter the landscape of the ancient mysteries on this exotic land at the edge of the Roman Empire. We will take a look at the different forms of worship in the towns and countryside of Britannia after the coming of the Romans, and then we will look at their cosmology. Finally, we will get into the weirder side of rituals and curses, and then take a look at the symbology of these cults.

In the early 5th century AD, after almost four centuries of iron-fisted Roman rule, the empire in Britain was beginning to fade. Franks, Saxons and Roman usurpers were running rampant. Britannia was on its last legs and in 410 AD, the Britons were told to ‘look to their own defences'.However the story of the fall of Roman Britain is far more complex than the traditional tale of swift Roman withdrawal. In today's episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes is joined by Dr Rob Collins and Dr James to journey from Londinium to Hadrians Wall and unpick the ultimate fate of Roman Britannia.Presented by Tristan Hughes.
